The Panel worked through the list of Major applications and determined the applications as follows:

Councillor Joyce arrived at the meeting, but took no part in the decision for application reference 67, below.

(67) Brancaster – Closer to Nature – Boardwalk.  The Panel discussed alternative funding options such as the use of GIRAMS and Habitat Mitigation.  AGREED: 50% of the applied funding be approved and Cabinet be requested to look at alternative funding sources.

The Panel adjourned at 10.40am and reconvened at 10.50am.

(2) Watlington – Watlington Community Sports Pavilion.  Councillor Joyce commented that the officials changing rooms should also be National FA compliant  AGREED: The application was approved by the Panel, subject to confirmation being received that the Officials Changing Rooms would be National FA Compliant.

(50) North Wootton – West Norfolk Rugby Club.  The Panel discussed the importance of this community facility which served a large area of the community  AGREED: Funding approved.

(3) Snettisham – Memorial Field Play Area.  The Panel noted the amount of CIL funding held by the Parish Council.  AGREED: 50% of the applied funding be awarded for the reason that the Parish Council had approximately £27k in its CIL fund.

(14) Grimston – Playground Refurbishments.  Councillor de Whalley declared an interest in this item as he had allocated a portion of his Councillor Community Grant to the project.  AGREED: 50% of the applied funding be awarded due to the amount that the Parish Council had in its CIL funds.

(61) Shouldham – Shouldham Football Club AGREED: Funding approved.

(22) Heacham – Recreation Ground new equipment. The Panel discussed the match funding proposed and alternative funding options which could be available.  AGREED: £30,000 funding be approved.

The Panel adjourned at 11.40am and reconvened at 11.50am.

The Panel had considered all of the Major applications scoring 13 or more and discussed how they would deal with lower scoring applications.

AGREED: All major applications scoring 12 or less were rejected.

Minor Applications

The Panel considered the minor applications and determined the following in principle.

(31) All Saints Church, King’s Lynn.  The Panel noted that the Church had previously been a recipient of CIL funding and this was a second phase to the project due to an increase in costs.  AGREED: The funding was agreed in principle, but the decision would be referred to Cabinet for ratification as this was the second phase of the project and the total funding awarded over the lifespan of the project would have pushed the application into the major funding pot.

(34) Tilney St Lawrence Village Hall. AGREED: Funding approved in principle.

(24) West Dereham Playground Project. AGREED: Funding approved in principle.

(51) Terrington St Clement Tennis Club.  The Panel considered the amount of funding the Parish Council held in their CIL fund.  AGREED: 50% funding approved in principle due to the amount of CIL funding held by the Parish Council.

(23) Marshland St James Car Park Refurbishment.  The Panel discussed the new Village Hall and noted that no previous CIL funding had been applied for.  The new surface would improve the existing car park.  AGREED: Funding approved in principle.
